Adware and SP2

[Robert--]

I'm doing pre-install research for SP2 which Auto. Updates apparently
downloaded to my computer 1-1/2 weeks ago. However, a recent spyware scan
flagged 2 adware programs. I had them both removed. One ("CWS") was harmful,
the other concerns me. This was: "Ezula iLookup" which was on 2 separate
Files whose "path" was through a program called "unwise.exe." Is there a
program or component of SP2 which uses eZula adware or is it something I
picked up while surfing the Net? Windows Explorer didn't find "eZula,"
"Ezulamain.exe," or even "TOPtext" on the files on my hard drive or on
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. ALSO, on a scan run earlier today, I
found both adware flagged again. Microsoft recommends removing unwanted
adware prior to installing SP2. Shoud I keep this or just remove it again?
I'm a beginning/intermediate level computer user who would appreciate any
help. Thanks in advance. PS: The File's path flagged today was:
c:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temporary internet
files\context.ie5\hj4mg4i\ezula[1].css
